Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein communicating with the base station comprises receiving a downlink transmission based on the downlink assignment and performing at least one of channel estimation based on the sequence or decoding scrambled data received in the downlink transmission based on the sequence.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein communicating with the base station comprises at least one of transmitting a reference signal in an uplink transmission or scrambling data for the uplink transmission based on the sequence, the uplink transmission being based on the uplink grant.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving information indicating the numerology from the base station, wherein the information is received in a master information block, MIB, a system information block, SIB, or in radio resource control, RRC, signaling.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the numerology comprises determining the first numerology associated with first assigned resources and determining the second numerology associated with second assigned resources, and wherein the first numerology is different than the second numerology.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the one or more indices for the assigned resources is based on an indexed time-frequency grid having a reference numerology.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the numerology comprises determining the subcarrier spacing and the symbol duration associated with one of a plurality of uplink (UL) resources or downlink (DL) resources in the assigned resources, wherein the one of the plurality of UL resources or DL resources comprises at least two different subcarrier spacings or symbol durations.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the numerology is determined based on the indication.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequence includes a reference signal or a scrambling code.
13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein communicating with the base station comprises at least one of transmitting a reference signal in an uplink transmission or scrambling data for the uplink transmission based on the sequence, the uplink transmission being based on the uplink grant.
14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to receive information indicating the numerology from the base station, wherein the information is received in a master information block, MIB, a system information block, SIB, or in radio resource control, RRC, signaling.
15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein to determine the numerology, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to determine the first numerology associated with first assigned resources and determine the second numerology associated with second assigned resources, and wherein the first numerology is different than the second numerology.
17. The apparatus of claim 11, the one or more indices for the assigned resources are based on indexed time-frequency grid having a reference numerology.
18. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein to determine the numerology, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to determine the subcarrier spacing and the symbol duration associated with one of a plurality of uplink (UL) resources or downlink (DL) resources in the assigned resources, wherein the one of the plurality of UL resources or DL resources comprises at least two different subcarrier spacings or symbol durations.
19. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to determine the numerology based on the indication.
20. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the sequence includes a reference signal or a scrambling code.
24. The method of claim 21, wherein the sequence includes a reference signal or a scrambling code.
28. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the sequence includes a reference signal or a scrambling code.
29. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more indices comprise the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources.
30. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more indices comprise the slot index for the assigned resources.
31. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more indices comprise the combination of the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources and the slot index for the assigned resources.
32. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the one or more indices comprise the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources.
33. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the one or more indices comprise the slot index for the assigned resources.
34. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the one or more indices comprise the combination of the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources and the slot index for the assigned resources.
36. The method of claim 21, wherein the one or more indices comprise the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resource.
37. The method of claim 21, wherein the one or more indices comprise the slot index for the assigned resource.
38. The method of claim 21, wherein the one or more indices comprise the combination of the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources and the slot index for the assigned resource.
39. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the one or more indices comprise the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resource.
40. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the one or more indices comprise the slot index for the assigned resource.
41. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the one or more indices comprise the combination of the OFDM symbol index for the assigned resources and the slot index for the assigned resource.
